Jane Blonde is bound to be a spy of course, but in this short story the English schoolgirl’s secret identity’s not so hidden, as she helps keep a kindergarten class under control, while possibly needing all the help G-Mama, Trouble and her SPIskills can offer.

The story throws young readers in at the deep end of a world filled with super sensations, neat code, confabulated code-names and mystery. Reading the first of the full-length novels might be a better introduction, but it’s clear there’ll be plenty to enjoy, especially for fans of the series, in a slightly off-kilter world of spy-gear, mystery and mayhem. It’s a fun story with a convincingly childish heroine.
